From the way some talk, you'd think Labour is losing all its voters to Reform. Absolutely not. From @georgeeaton.bsky.social excellent email

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you.

STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

#r4today gets its agenda from the right wing press. Amplifies it and spreads it to its listeners.
Rinse and repeat every day.

In other news the OBR report the Gov’t keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - for some reason this part of the report never gets mentioned

We can’t have another referendum on Brexit because that was the will of the (lied to) people 8 years ago…

But we’re supposed to have another general election despite having had one 4 months ago

Right wing bellends are f*cking hilarious.

Maybe when the ‘petition for another general election 🤪’ gets to 6 million (not including bots), we could have a double referendum, put the Tories in third place in the House of Commons, lose Reform altogether and bin off Brexit too 😉

"1% of the population own half the land in England...the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it"

Great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview:

Well that’s touching isn’t it? Jeremy Clarkson’s far right friends rallying around him and turning him into a meme for their movement. What a great look for all involved; millionaire landowners and fascists protesting together about raising taxes for public services. Chef’s kiss.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

Keir's Starmer's spokesperson asked if the PM is "concerned" about being at the G20 rather than being in Downing St for the farmers protest tomorrow

Meet for key discussions with world leaders, or hang around to hear Jeremy Clarkson outside your house abusing you through a megaphone. A real dilemma

A lot of bad stuff has happened since 2016.

I'm not going to say that Bowie and Prince took 50% of the world's cool with them, but.

I mean.

Just arrived. Left Xitter a while ago and been hanging around Threads. Interested to see how different this is.
